It has an excellent stability over the operating temperature range.

Working Principle

The 1N5930BP/TR12 works on the principle of reverse bias. Zener diode is a type of diode that can be used to regulate voltage. When current flows in a reverse bias direction, electrons from the N-type material enter the P-type material. This causes the junction to become reverse biased and the depletion region increases its width. The electric field associated with the depletion region causes electrons to cross the junction and produce a reverse bias current.

When the reverse bias voltage applied to the junction reaches its breakdown voltage, the current flowing through the device increases steeply and the voltage across the diode becomes almost constant. This constant voltage is known as the Zener voltage and it is stable over the operating temperature range.

Conclusion

The 1N5930BP/TR12 is a single Zener diode. It is designed for use in several applications such as voltage regulation and clamping circuits. It has several benefits and features such as low leakage current, good stability and a power dissipation rating of 500mW.
